the gallery

Postmasters Gallery opened in East Village in December 1984, moved to Soho in 1989 and in September 1998 the gallery relocated again to a large ground floor space in Chelsea. Postmasters is the primary gallery for all the artists we represent.
During its 25 years Postmasters is showing young and established artists of all media. We actively seek new forms of creative expression and show them in a context of painting, sculpture and photography. Painters (Steve Mumford, David Diao), sculptors (David Herbert, Jack Risley), installation artists (Diana Cooper, Sally Smart), and artists for whom form follows conceptual ideas (Spencer Finch, Mary Kelly) are represented along the video and new media artists like Katarzyna Kozyra, Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, Omer Fast, Eddo Stern, Guy Ben-Ner, Anthony Goicolea, Natalie Jeremijenko, 0100101110101101.ORG (Eva and Franco Mattes), Wolfgang Staehle, and Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung. The artworks are generally content oriented, conceptually based, and - most importantly - reflective of our time.

Extensive archives of all exhibitions since 1999 are available online www.postmastersart.com

Magdalena Sawon and Tamas Banovich are the owners/directors of Postmasters.
